PHOENIX — Online shopping keeps getting easier and Best Buy is furthering that effort by including same-day delivery for many of its stores. Beginning on Sept. 6, Phoenix will be one of the many cities that will have the service, according to Best Buy.

The service allows customers to order online as late as 3 p.m. local time to have orders arrive on the same day. Customers will receive their package by 9 p.m. and the cost is $5.99.

It is an effort by the electronics store that will triple their number of metro areas where customers can get same-day delivery from their website.

According to the press release, 70 percent of Americans live within 15 minutes of a Best Buy store.

Nearly 40 cities will be ready for the service in time for the holiday season.
